There needs to be more personal responsibility with regards to corporate culpability. I'm not sure if that means dissolving corporations as legal entities, but the prospect of profit needs to be tempered by the prospect of utter ruin when calculating risk. Risks taken when ruin is not possible is not a risk then, but an incentive to be reckless.

If the spreadsheets were fleshed out with all the transparency of externalities presently unrecognized and unreported,the bean-counters would have an entirely different calculus with which to work with,and shareholders would finally have a true look at their corporation,and could decide whether or not,they would want to remain as an investor,or not.
This would be a perfect market mechanism.
Just as a democracy cannot function properly without an informed populace,neither can a corporation.
